“Since I am already going home for the holidays, and mum has been bugging to meet you, yes. I’d like you to come with me to England for Christmas.”

The thief gave a cheerful laugh and hugged his detective excitedly, spinning him a couple of times, even. He had many reasons for being so happy about the offer, including the fact that he hadn’t been out of country for quite some time, but most important, would be…

“Of course I’d be more than willing to spend Christmas with you, tantei~”

To be honest, he hadn’t been looking forward much to Christmas this year. Don’t get him wrong, he always loved excuses for presents, and winter in general was cuddle season, so he wouldn’t have hated it, per se. And he’d heard Aoko was having another party, which me might have gone to…

But he’d still have to go home after the party was over.

And Christmas was a holiday that was only really fun if you had someone to spend it with.

Kid eventually settled down and just held onto Hakuba normally, lightly kissing his cheek and grinning. It’d also be nice to see the other’s home and family in London, since he’d only ever been to Hakuba’s house here in Japan.

“And just how much have you told her about me, if she’s been ‘bugging to meet me’? Nothing too bad, I hope.”
